Abstract
A method and an apparatus, the apparatus including appropriate valves and conduits, for increasing throughput in pressurized fluid processing including storing in a storage chamber of the apparatus a quantity of fluid at a pressure higher than a pressure at which an operation is to take place, while a processing chamber is depressurized to allow reception of a new object; sealing the processing chamber; and allowing fluid stored in the storage chamber to pass to the processing chamber to re-pressurize the processing chamber before performing the operation. The fluid may be preheated in the storage chamber to further reduce processing times.
